WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT YOU BELIEVE WILL MAKE YOU A SUCCESSFUL POST UNIVERSITY STUDENT

My name is Leona Woolfe, I was born and raised in Jamaica Queens New York. My siblings and I were in the foster care system, at that time abuse was happening to children unfortunately a lot of issues were swept under the rug, we would just be moved again to another home until the age of 17 for me when we were let out of the system but the mental damage had already affected my family and it was left up to me to find my purpose. In remembrance of my siblings I have committed myself to make a difference. I lost two sisters and two brothers due to poor choices they made in life, My goal was not to self destruct but to encourage others that there is always hope at the end of the rainbow. Situations had made me feel alone at times, but I would simply chose to bounce back, to become a more confident person.

My passion for pursuing a career as a Clinical Psychologist specializing in behavioral development was not determined in a matter of weeks or even months. Rather, it developed and solidified over the last year of being unemployed. I questioned my own diagnosis, I discovered a passion for the inner workings of the human mind, as well as a strong desire to help people. In addition to my counseling experiences, my empathy for and understanding of others strengthens my ability to persevere in the psychology field. My commitment in counseling encouraged me at the age of 58 to enhance my educational skills, not just being a leader having good motivational interviewing skills is an important force in reaching others.Learning to overcome obstacles early in life has been a valuable experience for me. With my life experience and counseling knowledge, Given the opportunity to study hard with Post University, With my determination I will be a successful Clinical Psychologist.

For these reasons I am applying to Post University with the intent to obtain a Bachelor of Arts...

I. Relate the video to conscience
Conscience, as defined by the Merriam – Webster Dictionary, is “the part of the mind that makesyou aware of your actions as being either morally right or wrong”. It’s that tiny voice inside your head that tells you if what you’re about to do, what you’re doing or what you’ve done is essentially right or not. A lot of people nowadays tend to ignore this for fear of being ridiculed or judged by other people, even if what they did was actually right.
The American television news magazine and hidden camera show entitled “Primetime: What Would YouDo?”, which aired their first episode in February 2008 and still continue to do so, reveal how bystanders react to certain situations of conflict or illegal activity in a public setting acted out by professional actors. However, there have been instances in the series wherein some people do not even intervene in what’s happening before them, be it good or bad. An example of these scenarios is a waiter reprimanding an overweight woman for ordering food with high calorie content with the reason being that he is just “helping her out”. The show also does variations of these scenarios to see if and how these...

...food doyou guess you eat a month? The average American eats about 50lbs worth, that’s more than most children in 3rd world countries eat in total in 3 monthsWill you follow everyone else or will you stray from the beaten path, and dare to be different? Dare to be your own person? Or will you crumple from the influences and pressures of society? The truth is no matter how much you tell yourself that you are going to be independent and make your own choices and decisions regardless of what other people thing,
every choice and decision youmake are influenced by the people around you and the experiencesyouhave faced. It is for this reason that accomplishing this task can be very challenging, however it is possible. And when you finally figure out who you are and what your values and morals it is believed youhave finally “come of age”. A prime example of this would be in the fiction novel written by Mark Twain, the main character Huckleberry, also referred to as Huck runs away from home because the confines of society proved to be too overwhelming for Huck. On the run Huck meets a runaway slave named Jim and decides to help Jim escape with him despite the fact that he was raised and...

WhatDoYou Dance?
After the Swing Era and World War II, American social dancing cooled down in the late 1940s, in a shift from dance bands to concerts in night clubs. In Michigan I was a teenager that was used to my parent’s country music and dancing. Throughout the years of me growing up to listening and dancing to country music and some rock music my uncle listened to that was all I was use to until I became 14yrs old and began junior high school. When I began attending junior high there were many different types of people and music. I got introduced to boogie-woogie first and liked it even though about a week later I was told that it was rock n roll. After I as a teen was introduced to boogie-woogie me and my little sister didn't want to dance like our parents who were lightly disapproving of this dance style, so my parents tried to show me a wide range of step and style replacements of boogie-woogie. When my father tried to show me the dances in country dance and then in boogie-woogie dance he noticed some relation. Another motivation for change was the music. Rock n roll simply called for different styles of dancing, some of which mirrored the strong backbeat of rock of course our rock music was the fifties type not like todays. Even though the schools and our parents were strict about us dancing in school, home or in the public to have manners we still tried to dance to boogie-woogie and rock. My...

You are whatyou consume
As human beings, we have to purchase what we need to survive. Consumer behavior focuses on how individual consumers and families or households make decisions to spend their available resources(time, money, effort)on consumption-related items.① It can be explained that what kind of goods they buy, why they purchase, when and where they buy, how often they buy. Meanwhile, consumer behavior depends on a series of factors including motivations, personality, attitudes, and social class standing as well as others.
First of all, motivation is the driving force within individuals that impels them to action. This driving forces produced by a state of tension, which exists as the result of an unfulfilled need. Individuals strive both consciously and subconsciously to reduce this tension through selecting goals and subsequent behavior that they anticipate will fulfill their needs and thus relieve them of the tension they feel. ②According to Maslow's theory ,the hierarch of needs become dominant motivator in the individual consumer behavior.
➢ physiological needs
Physiological needs are the fundamental level for human beings. Without food , water and other necessaries including clothes, shelter who can survive. Nowadays in our world the vast number of people is living in impoverished and devastated situations and therefore they...

Be Careful WhatYou Sign
Business Law and Ethics

First Letisha must understand the nature of a contract. The nature of a contract is to enforce legal promises between two or parties, who share common interest. If one or more parties fail to be in compliance with the contract then they are in breach of the contract and further legal action must be taken.
When signing an agreement or contract you must read all fine print. Letisha could argue that the Sudson laundry company didn’t make her aware to the term and condition of the contract prior to signing it. The Sudson Company was unprofessional by not letting the lessee know about the terms and condition that were front and back on the contract. It was their responsibility to present the contract to the lessee in a professional manner. As an HR Personnel Letisha should’ve known to read that entire agreement before she signed, even with her exuberated excitement to keep her tenants happy she should’ve been concerned with any legal obligation tied to the contract. Instead of The Sudson Company salesman making all legal and illegal possibilities know n in the contract, he just insisted that she sign know that there was a 15yr steep on the contract, In Letisha defense she could argue that salesman convince her to sign a contract that she didn’t know was inadequate. The salesman should have let her know...

...Personality: Whatmakesyou the way you are? - Science News - The Independent
At some point in your life, you've probably filled in a personality questionnaire ("Doyou see yourself as....?"), and wondered as you ticked the boxes if there can really be any validity to such a simplistic way of assessing people. Surely the scores just reflect your mood on the day, or whatyou want the investigator to think. Surely everyone gives the same answer, which is "it depends". Or even if the scores measure something, surely it is how the person sees themselves, rather than how they actually are. In a new book, I examine what the extent of the science underlying personality psychology really is. The answer is: more than you would think. While it has always been popular in business and pop psychology, and within academic psychology, personality research has been a poor relation to the parts of the discipline with experiments and hard objective measures. However, this is changing fast. The field of personality is undergoing a renaissance. The reasons for the renaissance are several. Academics now have some really good long-term studies of the same individuals, and it turns out that those brief, simplistic, pencil-and-paper questionnaires have surprisingly useful properties. They produce a wide range of...

...EDCX246 Assignment 1a
As a primary school student growing up in a major agricultural town, I can say with certainty that
my school was one of mostly ‘Conservative’ orientation, but with an undercurrent of ‘Liberal’. I
believe this largely influenced my identity, and led to a specific construction of child (Jones, 2011).
This essay will discuss how a predominantly ‘Conservative’ orientation unintentionally shaped my
childhood and adolescence, affected my views and expectations of sex and gender, and formed my
idea of sexuality.
I attended a Co-Educational Catholic School in Moree, New South Wales. Being a student
at a Catholic school in a Cotton-growing town, the approach was one that took a majorly
‘Conservative’ orientation – so to fit inside the norms of society (Jones, 2009) and to abide by
traditional values (Apple, 2005), along with student preparation for life rather than work (Jones,
2009). To reach this goal, the school imparted values consistent with the Catholic diocese and our
middle-class society (McQueen, 2009), and we were seen as the ‘Romantic Children’ (Jones, 2009)
constructed by the idea of ‘childhood innocence’ (Tait, 2013), but still capable of personal
development.
The ‘Conservative/Liberal’ discourse employed throughout my primary schooling
influenced a lot of my learning. We were not segregated by gender; providing all students with
choices and opportunities...
